Anyone for Tamiflu?

Tamiflu gives children nightmares, Tamiflu is next to useless, Tamiflu could kill people at risk from a stroke... the bad headlines just keep coming for Tamiflu. Fortunately in the UK the swine flu scare has gone away as people set off on holiday and forget all about the nasty bug. With the first phase of the flu come and gone we can now only wait for the second phase in the autumn. By then Tamiflu will be forgotten and all the talk will be about the vaccine and how safe that is.
